The further halving already includes literally everything under the sun, such as open rotor ultra-high bypass propfan designs.

Modern high bypass jet engines are already pretty close to maximum possible thermodynamic efficiency, given realistic constraints such as weight, wing clearance, noise, and so on. Even if all constraints were relaxed, the absolute limit mi

You replied to me in the first place… I didn’t seek out one of your comments to reply to? This ask doesn’t make sense.

This sounds similar to what people were saying regarding Microsoft when the shady tricks of consumer Windows 10 versions were revealed. …And then Windows 11 became even worse.

Yeah I guess there is a slight undertone that they are the superiors… with the rest of the tech world being the inferiors. But I hadn’t thought that as anything more than temporary flights of fancy.

I used to interact with the LW crowd… and they were mostly not outright swindlers or scoundrels. (from what I could sense) I think it’s fair to say most had decent respectability. Anthropic hired heavily from that pool so it’s astonishing h

Does anyone know what’s gone wrong with Anthropic? They used to be a decently credible company with not-too-shady behaviour... I hope they can actually regain some credibility…

Though to be fair, if true, putting Israeli flags on the literal doors is very strange. e.g. Nobody puts the flag of Turkiye or Spain, actual NATO allies, on their doors.

If true, there must be something seriously, profoundly, wrong in the Beltway. It somehow seems like a huge number of people are working to throw America down the drain faster.

How would you draw the line? A 100% airtight filter against political articles seems unrealistic to maintain. Since “political” is itself not fully settled.

If you knew it’s significantly different from your speeding example… why did you reply with such a misleading example in the first place?

by MichaelZuo 3mo ago
Yeah it needs a lot work…

Clearly in the real world Illinois, there are multiple systems that are “being used to justify pulling people over in the first place”. But how does that relate to the credibility of pings?
104.
by MichaelZuo 3mo ago
Huh? You just said it “isn't reliably updated, and so pings on vehicles that were reported stolen…” are weeks out of date? Even if all ALPRs vanished from the Earth tomorrow, that still indicates a lack of credibility in the pings?
105.
by MichaelZuo 3mo ago
That sounds like a much more foundational and serious issue than any number of ALPR systems? If Illionis LEADS lacks credibility?

This is bizarre. Like some kind of trolling.

This just reads like gibberish. You’ve written multiple nonsensical replies in a row, so I’m not going to bother puzzling it out anymore.

Yeah it seems very shady to do it this way… far worse than the EU. The fact that they couldn’t clear an already low bar is a really bad sign.

Something about this makes my stomach churn… This is not a good sign for the future of the USA. I hope the country doesn’t become the new USSR.

Are you confused? You replied to me initially, I didn’t seek out one of your comments to reply to. And you still haven’t explained why you answered a comment believed to be a non-sequitor… with your own non-sequitor. Which still makes no se

This makes no sense. How can you know that is not part of the “whole point”? Presumably the sentence was included for some reason, not just pure random keyboard bashing. Unless you are the GP?
112.
by MichaelZuo 4mo ago
Can you not see the last sentence? It’s literally directly addressing the last sentence of the parent: “So he claimed to be doing one thing, but in reality it was more of a thinly disguised power play by the look of it.”

Why do you think globalization is even possible to reverse via human thought? If you accept global competition, then expecting there to be hundreds of millions of job positions with meaningful protection from competition seems literally fut

Did you reply to the correct comment? This doesnt seem to address my comment?

by MichaelZuo 4mo ago
This line of argument proves too much. As it would apply to a lot of things throughout history. e.g. “Remember that there is an alternate universe in which ancient Anatolian farmers defeated the Yamnaya steppe raiders in Europe, and they ar

Would a daily peak above 37C counts for the parents point? It has to be longer term temperature I imagine.

This doesnt make sense… ? Clearly all significant names involved with Wikipedia, including admins, have some kind of ulterior motives, to some degree above literally zero. Unless you believe in literally perfect altruism 100% of the time. T

It clearly cannot be consensus based? As several users mentioned, “The Unblockables” are notorious, as only one admin willing to unblock them is sufficienf. Even against the wishes of another admin and many users.

Because I doubt there is literally perfect insulation around HN/YC? Like I said in the post?

Did you not finish reading the post? Average detail level, volume, and so on, are obviously factors too…?
